More About Coach Dale
I have coached baseball for the last 10+ years and train (individual / group) athletes at the middle school and high school level of the greater Seattle area covering the basic fundamentals of baseball/softball.
Ballard High School - Head Coach (Softball)
2018 - Current
Dale Griffith is a Seattle native with 15+ years of baseball experience beginning in T-ball. He played Little League for Seattle Central and Rainier, winning the District 7 championship (2004–2005) and earning multiple all‑star selections, then starred at Foster High School (Tukwila) as a four‑time baseball letterman (first base/outfield) and three‑time football letterman, serving as co‑captain and receiving sportsmanship and honorable‑mention honors at safety. He won his high school team batting crown (.300) in 2008–2009 before a shoulder injury ended his playing career; he leveraged an academic scholarship to pursue a career in education.
A typical session covers core baseball/softball fundamentals: throwing (fielding the ball, locating the target, stepping and throwing with shuffle footwork); batting (keeping the back shoulder up, adjusting feet for inside/middle/outside pitches, and watching the ball to contact); and base running (quickly exiting the box, properly rounding bases, advancing on the base path, and staying alert).

Client Reviews
Thomas (CoachUp client)
Coach Dale was great! My 8 year old son had fun and learned a ton. The lessons Dale taught immediately translated to results when it came to game day. Coach Dale was very informative, professional, and friendly. If you are looking for a great baseball coach I would highly recommend Coach Dale.
Omar (CoachUp client)
My 11 year-old son had a great time. Lots of new drills he hadn't done before. Adjustments to his batting stance that made an instant difference. Dale was patient and encouraging.
Ben (CoachUp client)
Coach Dale is very knowledgeable, and he has a very professional approach to coaching. My son has received a lot of coaching through his select baseball program, but Coach Dale offered insight and training methods that were very helpful. I would recommend coach Dale to any player at any level. He is a great coach and a very impressive man.

Coach Dale is great! My active six year old has had a blast and learned so much. My son was showing an interest in baseball, and not being very athletically inclined myself, I needed someone good with young kids who was willing to show him the basics. Dale was a perfect choice. He’s energetic, patient, and good at explaining the skills in a way kids can understand and remember. My son really enjoys his coaching sessions.
Stacie (CoachUp client)
Coach Dale was super cool and my son is ready to work with him. My son is very athletic and is playing 2 years up for baseball which is fine physically but mentally/socially he is still very much 2 years younger than his teammates and I think Dale was able to really hone in on the lacking self confidence right away and we look forward to him being a mentor.
Jerome (CoachUp client)
Thank you Dale for a great practice
Our son has been playing baseball for 7 years and you had some fantastic drills that he hasn't seen before and it's always great seeing a different view. You worked him hard and he walked away saying how much fun he had and he also said he walked away a better player. We can tell that you love the sport and love teaching the game by how encouraging you are along with making sure that he understands the scenarios and drills and being positive. After a rough year of the coaching in little league it is great to find a coach like you to actually want to teach the game and make our son feel more confident and a better player after his first lesson.
Sarah (CoachUp client)
I finished up my first lesson with Coach Dale today, and it was wonderful! As an adult baseball fanatic who has never actually played myself, I immensely appreciated both his professionalism and enthusiasm. Coach Dale breaks everything down in simple terms, all while sharing valuable tips and having a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to our future sessions!
Also, for anyone new to CoachUp, the platform made it incredibly easy to connect with Coach Dale and coordinate all the logistics, like scheduling and payment. Highly recommend!
Kazuko (CoachUp client)
We just had the first lesson. He was really passionate and wonderful to work with kids.
Thanks coach!
Vince (CoachUp client)
My 9 yr. old son had a really great lesson with coach Dale. He was super positive, helped him with several areas in his batting, base running, catching, throwing fundamentals and really encouraged him in his development. We look forward to continuing to work with coach Dale.
Rob (CoachUp client)
My 9-year-old son has his first session with Coach Dale on March 25th. It was great. He kept my son active and engaged the entire time, and the time just flew by. Lots of great information. Looking forward to our next session.
